Starrett 10469 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10469 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on stationary band saw machines. The blade runs 93.5 inches long and 3/16 inch wide, with a 0.025-inch thickness and a constant-pitch 4 TPI skip-tooth configuration. The skip-tooth form and raker set work together to clear chips efficiently during cuts, reducing heat buildup and blade deflection. Constructed entirely from carbon steel, both the blade body and tooth material offer consistent performance across a range of materials. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and shop technicians working with light-duty to medium-duty cutting applications.

The STARRETT 10469 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The straight rake angle and skip-tooth geometry make it a practical choice for softer metals and non-metallic materials where aggressive chip evacuation is needed. The flexible back type allows the blade to track smoothly on standard two- and three-wheel band saw configurations used in production shops and maintenance facilities. The constant pitch delivers predictable, uniform cutting with minimal vibration across varying workpiece thicknesses.

Key Features

• Skip-tooth form with raker set for efficient chip clearance
• Straight rake angle for controlled cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Flexible back type for smooth blade tracking on standard band saw wheels
• Full carbon steel construction on both blade body and teeth
• Supports contour cutting applications across multiple material types

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for standard band saw machines accepting a 93.5-inch blade length with a 3/16-inch width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out before removing or mounting a blade. Blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel alignment should be inspected and adjusted to match the blade width before operation. Proper blade tension per the saw manufacturer specification is critical to blade life and cut accuracy. Always wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling or coiling bandsaw blades.
